What is the solution of 82.78(p+11.892)=72.8464 when solving for p? Do not round your answer.

Answer 1

To solve for p, we will first distribute 82.78 to the terms inside the parentheses:

82.78(p + 11.892) = 72.8464

Simplifying, we get:

82.78p + 979.98176 = 72.8464

Next, subtract 979.98176 from both sides:

82.78p = 72.8464 - 979.98176

Simplifying further, we have:

82.78p = -907.13536

Finally, divide both sides by 82.78:

p = -907.13536 / 82.78

Therefore, the solution for p is approximately -10.95133762.
